Hiring Strategy in the AI Era: New Grads vs. Experienced Developers ===================================================================  ### signüll
@signulll
we prefer to hire new grads a ton cuz in this era experience is getting devalued faster than potential. a 40yr old dev with 15yrs of patterns baked in pre llm is in some ways harder to onboard into an ai native workflow than someone with no habits to unlearn.
this is real, underrated, & often counter intuitive.
this may not apply to every type of gig but as long as ppl are needed, there are def places for new grads with high agency.

One Sentence Summary
The author argues that hiring new grads is preferable in the AI era because unlearning pre-LLM habits is harder than training AI-native workflows.
Summary
In response to news about potential high unemployment for new graduates due to AI, the author presents a counter-intuitive hiring philosophy. They suggest that traditional experience is devaluing rapidly because long-standing development patterns are often incompatible with AI-native workflows. Consequently, high-agency new grads without 'habits to unlearn' may be easier to onboard and more valuable in the current technological landscape than seasoned developers who are set in their ways.
